Its been eight weeks- why is my wrist still hurt?

I am 28F. I hurt my wrist over a month and a half ago. It was unstable, hurt to move, and I couldn't lift stuff with it. their was some minor swelling.

I got a brace. I wear it at work and at home- I take it off to bathe and to sleep.

It creaks. the part that hurts will pop and swell up if I bend it the wrong way while bathing until I pop it back. when I pulled a double at work it was swollen to twice the size it should be the next morning.

I work with my hands. I lift stuff. I garden. this is impeding my ability to do my job, to do basic household tasks, ect.

how much longer will this take?
